Silk Culture.

Savannah Ne,rs: Why not make a
serious effort here in the South to cult
vate silk ? The mulberry is indigenous
and it does not demand picked land
either. 1t will grow and attain large
proportions almost anywhere, without
expenditure and without labor. Time Is
all that is needed, after the planting, for
the trees to mature. After maturity, a
few days, less than a month anyway,
are sufficient to produce a crop of silk.
Years ago schOolboys in England, where
ever there were mulberry trees, used to
amuse themselves with the product of
silk worms. The cocoons need but little
preparation. III fiIature is available,
they can be Immediately reeled. and
reeled silk is worth IS per pound. The
cocoons will bring, when gathered, from
so cents to 81 per pound. To produce
silk neither machinery nor tools are re-
quired. A boy or girl can make the
reels. or feeding frames. of light boards
or Of branches Of trees.
The present demand in this country
for raw silk is {. OOO, 900 pounds per year,
worth $50. OOO, 900. The imports in No
vember Of last year were SAC, 035 pounds,
valued at g.. 645.l74.

Exciting scenes are of daily occurrence

Exciting scenes are OF daily occurrence
in Ireland over the matter Of evictions.
Another one occurred on the sth inst
in County Clare, while a number of
bailiffs, accompanied by one hundred
policemen, were evicting tenants in May
noe. The chapel bells were rung and horns
sounded. and the people quickly assem-
bled headed by priests. The evicted ten
ants were reinstated rs caretakers, and
in two instances the baiiiffs had to aban-
don their attempts to evict tenants owing
to the menaces of the populace. The
police were unable to quell all the disor-
ders and withdrew from the scene. Dur
ing the disturbance Father O'Flynn, In
spector Heard and several policemen
were jured by being hit with stones.

The Times Union has stated that
neither the j., T. & X. w. Railway Com
pany nor any Of its officers own property
in the city of Jacksonville. The asser-
ton was made with such assurance that
we did not know but it was true, but on
inquiry We learn that it is without foun-
dation in fact. Both Mr.. Bentley and
his road own property in Jacksonville.
Mr.. b. has been a property holder there
for years. He sold, two years ago, a
handsome dwelling on the corner of
Church and Hogan streets, to Col. Cock
ereil, receiving therefor about $13, 900.
He also sold, about year ago, to the
Christian Church people there, another
piece Of property on the corner OF Pine
and Bentley streets, for about q, 600.
At the present time Mr.. r. owns the
house in which Charley Bentley lives.
the one in which Col. Carter lives. which
was built within the last two years, and
right opposite those houses is another
piece of property on which there is an
older house that Mr.. b. has held for
several years.
The railway company owns large
piece of ground on Bay street, just west
of the bridge, which can any day be util-
lied for a freight depot. 1t was bought
with that purpose. This property is. for
the time being, leased to five or six diff
ferent parties who have built on it. but
the leases are all terminable at three
months notice, in case the railroad wants
the property for its own use. This road

How Insects Breathe.

A naturalist, descr. bling the curious
arrangements for breathing furnished
insects, say s: IF we take any moder-
ately large insect, say wasp or hornet
we can see even with the naked eye,
that a series of small spot.lke marks
run along either side of the body.
These apparent spots, which are gener-
ally eighteen or twenty in number are,
in fact, the apertures through which
mir is admitted into the system. and are
generally formed in such a manner
that no extraneous matter can by any
possibility find entrance. Sometimes
they are furnished with pair of horny
lips, which can be opened and closed
at the will of the insect; in other cases
they are dcnsely fringed with stiff in
terlacing bristles. form ng filter.
